An Audit of Medicine Reconciliation (MR) by Prescriber and Pharmacist At Royal Alexandra Hospital (RAH).

Abstract

This audit showed that not all admission procedures involving (MR) using the Orion and Kardex systems were performed to a a satisfactory level. There is a huge gap between the current practice of (MR) and the set guidelines. The exception is that most patients have a pharmacist review within 24 hours, which is close to the standard set for this audit. In addition, there exists a lack of training for prescribers and pharmacists.
